  • Using my Lectric XP 2.0 as an example, I'll show you how disc brakes can be rubbing due to a bent rotor. Sometimes adjusting the caliper is not enough.
    You may also need to true your disc rotor by straightening it.
    This can be done by using a disc truing tool and physically bending the rotor until it's nice and straight.

    From a good vise to a car jack imo with a bita thinking 2 strong metal plates a lil bigger will true your wheel disc ,these tools are like brakepads youll be using them even more ,if u work alot on bikes then a carjack and make yourself a awesome clamp it will straighten thst disc or pay stupid money to a bike shop as if there parts aint expensive enough as is 👍

      Yeah, really need something to grab the cone. At least with the Channellocks you can use them for other things too. 👍

    Hi, I have a question about the brakes, will the rear wheel motor stop when I squeeze the front brakes?

    • @PedalWithPower
      @PedalWithPower  2 года назад

      Squeezing the front brake will cut out the assistance to the rear motor. The brake levers have electronic cut out sensors the will stop the power to the rear motor when you pull on them.

    Hey there i really enjoy your videos and find them very helpful and I noticed that you have a scratch on the sticker of your bike and my bike came today and i actually have the same scratch in the same place and was wondering if your bike also came like that or you scratched that on your own?

    • @PedalWithPower
      @PedalWithPower  2 года назад +1

      Thanks Karim, the scratch is from folding the bike. The fork hits the bolt on the back when folded. If you don't want it to get worse, you may want to slip a cloth around that section if you have to fold your bike up a lot.

    What sz disc we have on our 2.0

      Thanks for watching! The rotors are 160mm, 6 bolt.
      I am working on a new video series right now installing hydraulic brakes. Looks to be an amazing upgrade. I will have them up next weekend!
